Recommended game specs.....
What is the big secret about this ?
Surely a month before the game goes on the shelf they're not still trying to find out what it'll run on ? Halo for the pc is supposed go on-sale 10/8 and there's still no information on what it'll run on. And don't get me started about HL2. This is one habit of game developers that I really wish they'd break.

Well they released some stuff on halflife2 and it will be able to run on pretty much anything halflife 1 would run on, just with crappy performance and graphics, at least thats what i heard.

I've been over both the Halo and the Hl2 sites, repeatedly, and neither is saying anything.
There is no official statement on either. I can make good guesses as well, but the official specs are their job and they're not doing it. What's more, there's no good reason, let alone a logical one, for them not doing it. These guys are getting cut more slack then they deserve on this. |

Much better.
One is 933, which makes some sense, and the rest were 2.0 ( they didn't ) . Now you know why I'm complaining. I await the full rlease. I still say you shouldn't have to be researcher to find game specs. |

Well sometimes people don't think. Like websites with links that pop up Acrobat Reader for info instead of an HTML page... However much of a pain this may be.. it just seems like something we have to live with

Z_A,
Yes but no. Too many game companies are skirting the " warranty of merchantability" The problem is a real one. |
